Unless you are moving to Thailand, don't bring your dog.

It has been getting harder over the last 2 years. Not it is near impossible. If you pay regular bills at a residence, that can work in your favour.

But generally you will need at least one of:

- non tourist visa

- proof of residence

- work permit

- residence type bill in your name (cable, water, power, etc)

Normal taxi from the queue is almost 500baht

I thought a TM30 was always required for extension, just that they usually are already in the system unless you have moved provinces. Was I misinformed?

Yup! 🤣

Is this a joke post?? 1st rule, never bring your girlfriends/wives to the west. It will either be bad for her, or be bad for you.

Have you thought about visiting a nearby country for a few days? If you get the 60 day visa, then extension, that gives you 90 days in country. Then go visit Singapore or Malaysia, or anywhere for a few days, then come back to Thailand on exemption.

You SHOULD be fine to do that. Might get dodgy if you try more without actually moving around Thailand as well.

I thought this was always the rule everywhere in Thailand.

@Todd ********

, I never said there is a restriction on being a tourist. There WILL be an issue if it appears you are trying to stay/live in a country (ie, not being a tourist). Thailand has rules, whether we like them or not.

And they usually want proof that you need the multi entry 6 months. Otherwise, they will just give you the 60 day tourist visa.
